Google Meet to get live translated captions, public livestreams for online classrooms

Google Meet is getting new features which will be designed to help with online learning and classroom. Google states that in the future all Meetings initiated from Google Classroom, which is a product solution designed for schools and online learning, will get these features.

Google plans to bring live translated captions to Meet in the coming months and teachers will be able to use closed captions during livestreams. They will also be to host public livestreams, which will be streamed right to YouTube so anyone outside of their institution can attend. Public live streaming will be rolling out in beta later this year. Google says it will be available for customers with the Teaching and Learning Upgrade or Education Plus in early 2022.
